ATENÇÃO ODONTOLÓGICA À MULHER NA ATENÇÃO BÁSICA DE SAÚDE DURANTE A PANDEMIA DA COVID-19: DA GESTAÇÃO AO PRIMEIRO ANO DE VIDA DA CRIANÇA
Resumo
Comportamentos adquiridos na infância influenciam a saúde bucal ao longo da vida, sendo os pais importantes modelos de práticas preventivas. Este estudo de coorte prospectivo avaliou o efeito de orientações em saúde bucal enviadas às gestantes, por meio de aplicativo de mensagens, sobre os cuidados preventivos adotados pelos filhos. Participaram do estudo 79 gestantes cadastradas na Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Maringá – PR, incluídas em um programa de teleorientação sobre cuidados em saúde bucal durante a gestação e no primeiro ano de vida do bebê. Foram aplicados três questionários (sociodemográfico, conhecimento e práticas em saúde bucal) no pré-, peri- e pós-natal. As crianças foram submetidas à avaliação bucal utilizando os índices ceo-d, CAST e IHOS. Foram avaliadas 44 crianças, observando-se baixa prevalência de cárie (ceo-d e CAST = 0,14 ± 0,91), sem associação significativa entre cárie e os fatores de risco avaliados. A maioria das crianças apresentou boa higiene bucal (81%; IHOS = 0,32 ± 0,67), associada à presença de mães com companheiros (p = 0,034). O hábito das mães de comer entre as refeições associou-se ao mesmo hábito nas crianças (p = 0,042). Além disso, o recebimento prévio de orientações sobre dieta pelas mães associou-se ao hábito das crianças de não comer entre as refeições (p = 0,050). A ação de teleorientação realizada com gestantes/mães durante a pandemia resultou em efeito positivo nos cuidados preventivos em saúde bucal dos filhos, refletido em baixo índice de cárie e boa higiene bucal.
